THE PATRONAGE OF THE KING OF JORDANDesigned by Architecture-Studio, it hosts the Amman Rotana Hotel,

a five-star complex in the Jordanian capital.

A188-metretowerloomsagainsttheskyofAmman,thefirstemblematicurbanstatementatthe heart of the Jordanian capital, an emerging economic platform and cosmopolitan city of two million inhabitants. Designed by the agency Architecture-Studio, this building, stretched like a bow, houses the Amman Rotana Hotel (412 rooms and suites), an upscale hotel that is part of the UAE-based Rotana hotel chain, which manages many hotels worldwide.

A striking landmark in the city with its aluminium brise-soleils, this “contextual” tower stands out with its silhouette, which sometimes suggests slender curves and sometimes –from the direction of the airport– appears to be hollowed-out. These focal points emphasize the anchoring of this high-rise building in the city around.

The building’s synergy also extends to the design of the podium at the base of the tower, conceived as a glazed volume in harmony with the public space. Connected via vast atriums, cafés, restaurants, lounges, conference centres and a Spa with panoramic views over the Al Abdali district.
